Stunning. I love the way the green leaves stand out vividly against the grey stone. The clouds in the sky complement the statue perfectly. Very well done. 10 - lisae
I love the statue, just wish I could see more of its detail. Good choice in the sky as the background but you may want to crop out the tree head in the lower right. It's distracting from your objective
Composition: This does not need all that space on the right 6 Lighting: good perhaps a bit more on the face or some fill in flash for the back lighting 6 Appeal:6, Total Rating 6 Sulamk
Nice subject,and meets the challenge. Could use more light on the face to reveal more detail. Good luck in the challenge...it's a tough one! Grayce aka Gracious
Without the trees impeding the cloud space this would have been a master shot scoring 10+++… I think that even though the space invasion is small, the impact of the shot is reduced from superb to very good or just nice. Don't get me wrong, I really like the shot, but crop it down and take another look – I think you'll be surprised… (8)
Could you have taken this shot at an angle (e.g. 45 deg. to the left)? I think it would have eliminated the tree & bush, as well as presented the subject in a more interesting manner.
